Neutral Buoyant JIgs

[hays47]

Couple years ago ordered something called EZ-EYES and never could find a use for them unti-------l now. Pin Jigs gave me the idea. The head of the jig is about the size of an 1/8 oz leadhead. Since most of you already know that fish often suck in a lure by creating a vaccuum by expelling water out their gills. You can readily see that a jig that weighs almost nothing is going to fly in their mouths. Well that the general idea for these a big profile jig that weighs very little. Will have to let everyone know if it works when the water goes soft again up here.



This is how I start them, base wrap Crazy Glue and then add the head.

The following are some of my early attempts at the idea

so this should run just below the surface???

Interesting concept. I can see it fished under a float and a split shot placed six inches above it.

You got it Ship. Will need a split shot to get down but I am thinking about a 18" away so that it drops real slow in the strike zone..

When I am night fishing might try some without weight close to the surface when the crappies are chasing the minnows up. Using my flyrod with these at night might be a secret weapon.

I like that.
How do you get the ball on the pin.

That sounds like a fun way to use the jig. Nice work on the jig.
